Carbohydrate Metabolism Quiz

Anabolism is a process of breaking down large complex molecules into smaller ones

Catabolism involves building up large complex molecules from simple molecules

Glycolysis involves producing energy from glucose derived from complex carbohydrate biomolecules

Excess glucose may be converted to glycogen and deposited in liver and muscle tissues by glycogenesis

Glucose is oxidized completely to CO2, H2O, and energy by glycolysis and citric acid cycle for body's energy needs

Anabolism consumes energy through ATP hydrolysis

Catabolism releases energy by breaking down large complex molecules into smaller ones

Glycogenolysis is the process of converting liver glycogen back into glucose to maintain glucose blood levels

Excess glucose can be converted to fatty acids and stored in adipose tissue as triglycerides through lipogenesis

Small amounts of glucose may be utilized for the synthesis of nucleic acids
